This is a first for our shelter. Just got in an albino male that has a
fairly large (1/2 inch) cyst under the skin and more, about 1/4 inch, on the
outside of the prepuce. Very ugly looking. At least he can still pee. I've
found references about them but have not found the best way to treat them.
Can it be aspirated or must it all be trimmed out and a new hole made for
the penis to come through? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
